New Quiz: What Scent Are You? Take This Quiz to See How You Should Smell

What scent draws you in?

Are you the type of person who is super attuned to scents? I think scents are really fascinating, and I’m starting to be interested in the psychology of aromatherapy. Isn’t it amazing how a particular scent can make us feel happy, calm, or nostalgic. Scent is very powerful, and I think the types of scent a person is attracted to says a lot about him or her. I have noticed that people seem to automatically pick scents that match their personalities quite well.

There is a lot of research being done about the therapeutic benefits of scents, and I’m apt to believe it. Being in an area with a terrible scent can be such a downer. On the other hand, when I enter an area that smells nice (all time favorite smell: the exotic, subtle floral scent of the Venetian casino in Las Vegas – what do they do to make it smell so good?), I immediately feel more optimistic and serene. Ah, the power of scent!

I am still discovering what sort of scents I like. One thing I know for sure is that I like scents that are light and more natural. I love lavender, vanilla, citrus, and even something like mint. I think heavier scents are nice in theory, but I never feel too comfortable wearing them. And of course, there’s nothing worse than being around someone in public who’s put a little too much scent on.

What about you? Does scent play a big part in your life? Is your home filled with scents you love? If so, my latest quiz is for you: What Scent Are You?

Take What Scent Are You?, and let me know what you get. I’m also curious – what are some of your favorite scents? How do you incorporate your favorite scents into your life?

This was fun! Your quiz says I’m Classic & Sophisticated – and do love honeysuckle, white musk, don’t know about white pepper. I thought the quiz would show me to be Free Spirit. My favorites scents, at age 65, are anything by Couture, Juicey, Get so many compliments, even from strangers. Do enjoy switching with my mood. Use more deeply exotic tones during colder months. Once tried Obsession bath oil, and it’s heaviness gave me migraines.
Decades ago, loved wearing a fragrance by Helena Rubenstein, Herbalessance, which, to me, smelled like Christmas. Men (again, strangers) would ask me what I was wearing, so they could buy it for their wives, girl friends. Magi’Noir is one I like to wear at night.
In love with fragrances!

I love the smell of classic scents, even if I don’t wear them often. Giorgio Beverly Hills is also a favorite of mine.

I agree about scents being good for off time. It’s actually getting more and more common where I live for them to be banned at yoga, in certain restaurants, etc. I similarly won’t wear one on an airplane, since the space is so confined.

But if I’m just running errands or especially if I’m going to be outside, I love to spritz a little something 🙂
